Iron Dynasty

"General Ye."

Haigucheng Wharf Yue Yun and Ye Qingyun gave each other a military salute.

Looking at the soldiers coming from the merchant ship, Yue Yun let out a heavy breath, he said; "General Ye, the barbarian army is expected to arrive in the afternoon. Whether this ancient city of the sea can be held is up to the general."

"General Yue is at ease, the emperor has a purpose, so Ben will do his best to preserve the ancient city of Hai." Ye Qingyun said.

Hearing this, Yue Yun's expression loosened.

Then he looked at the merchants on the pier looking around and asked, "What do these people do?"

Before Ye Qingyun said, Liang Dahai added: "These are slave trappers from Qingzhou. They all want to take this opportunity to capture some slaves in Korea."

He proposed this plan of arresting slaves. His original intention was to let Liang Dahai come to Korea to participate in the arrest of slaves. However, this situation clearly surprised him.

Seeing Yue Yun's confused look, Liang Dahai told Yue Yun that Xiao Ming had opened up private slavery, and Yue Yun understood.

"It's a pity, now the price of a young and strong slave in Qingzhou is at least thirty taels of silver. As long as the slave boat captures a hundred people at a time, the profit this time will be three thousand taels." Yue Yun said in a deep thought. .

Liang Dahai nodded, "Even so, the supply is in short supply. Now Qingzhou is not just the merchants and nobles keeping slaves. It is said that the wealthy people are also starting to keep slaves and cultivate land. Perhaps it is for this reason that the emperor will allow private slave capture this time ."

Ye Qingyun looked at the slave trappers at this time. All of them were wearing armors and holding bright weapons in their hands, just like a small army.

Slave hunting is a dangerous job, so many merchants will hire some wicked people to do this, and they only need to provide ships and weapons.

While talking about the slaves, the group walked towards the ancient city of Hai.

When he arrived in the city, Yue Yun introduced to Ye Qingyun the situation of Haigucheng and the current situation of Korea.

"It's this Beishan again, and it's really lingering. It was a pity that the gun in Jizhou back then didn't kill him." Ye Qingyun said regretfully.

"No, this Beishan hates the Dayu Kingdom the most. Now he can do anything for revenge." Yue Yun said; "There is a person in this ancient city called Li Chengzai. He told us that this time the barbarian The reason for the truce with the Wa is that Bei Shan asked for the matchlock craft of the Wa."

"Li Chengzai? Is that the Korean man who surrendered to you?" Ye Qingyun asked. He also read a lot of information before coming.

Yue Yun nodded, "Yes, it's him, his father holds an important position in Liu Jingcheng, so what he said should be true."

"The secret guard doesn't even know about such an important thing. It seems that the secret guard can't do it." Ye Qingyun smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"It's terrible if they can know everything." Yue Yun could see clearly.

Ye Qingyun chuckled and said, "Even if the barbarians have matchlock guns, they have not encountered them on the battlefield. King Yan, King Zhao, and King Liang all have a group of matchlock troops. The muskets fired from the guns, and we also brought some heavy muskets just made by the military workshop this time we came to Hai Ancient City."

Yue Yun showed a look of interest. Now both the army and the navy are very sensitive to new equipment. After all, the war advantage brought by weapons makes them bigger and stronger.

He couldn't help but said anxiously: "Let me see what this heavy musket is?"

Ye Qingyun looked like a urchin eager to show off. He took Yue Yun outside, and then called a soldier to let him transfer the heavy musket.

After a while, two soldiers ran towards them, one of them was carrying a huge flintlock, and the other was carrying a wooden box.

The two stopped in front of Yue Yun. At this time, Ye Qingyun said to Yue Yun; "This is a heavy musket. For this battle, the emperor personally allocated a hundred such heavy muskets from the military workshop."

Yue Yun's gaze was dull. In his opinion, what he saw in front of him was an enlarged flintlock, but besides the big one, the heavy musket was a little different. This was that there was a support in the middle.

The heavy musket can be rotated up and down, left and right through this support, so that the heavy musket can hit any direction.

"How powerful is this?" Yue Yun sighed.

"It's more powerful than a musket. It's good for both cavalry and infantry. Setting up this thing on city walls and gates is enough to cause a lot of casualties to the enemy." Ye Qingyun believes.

The two were talking, and suddenly a scout came to report and said to Yue Yun: "General, the barbarian striker has arrived under the ancient city of Hai, and they are now waiting for the follow-up army to arrive."

Upon hearing this, Yue Yun and Ye Qingyun looked at each other, their expressions a little more solemn.

At this time, Ye Qingyun said to Yue Yun: "General Yue, let us do the matter of defending the city. This time, I was going to let Bei Shan stay here."

Having said that, Ye Qingyun led the soldiers to the north gate without turning his head, and went up the city wall. He took out a binoculars and looked at the surroundings of the ancient city of Hai, his heart suddenly relaxed.

This ancient city of the sea faces the sea, and the mountains on the east and west are in love with each other. The barbarians only have to attack the ancient city directly.

Discovering the characteristics of Haigucheng, he decisively deployed soldiers and weapons on the northern wall, and at the same time transported heavy muskets and field guns to the wall.

While Ye Qingyun was preparing, the barbarian army successively arrived under the ancient city of the sea, and the stretching barbarian army stretched across the ground into a long black dragon~www.wuxiaspot.com~ in the evening, all the barbarian army seemed to have arrived. Ye Qingyun also completed preparations for the war, waiting for the barbarians to attack the city.

"This time the barbarians brought a lot of artillery. It seems that they are going to use our method to open the city gate."

With the color of the evening, Yue Yun saw the artillery in the barbarian army. There were a hundred artillery pieces, which made him feel a layer of pressure.

For artillery, this gate is basically useless. As long as the gate is broken, the barbarians will drive the slaves into the city and defeat them by virtue of their number.

So after hesitating, he said to Yue Yun: "You immediately ask Li Cheng to find some sand to put in a bag and pile it up at the gate of the city. As for how to pile it up, I will send someone to tell him personally."

Yue Yun's expression was heavy, and Yue Yun's expression made him understand that this battle was not so easy. He nodded and walked down the city wall to find Li Chengzai himself.

He is much stronger than Yue Yun on the sea, but he still has to listen to this experienced veteran in defending the city. He only hopes to be able to defend the ancient city of Hai.
